Cheap flights from Palermo to Riga

Book early once your plans are fixed, because this route has no nonstop flight and the cheaper seats on connecting itineraries go first. June is the cheapest month in the calendar shown, with fares also listed from October to May; prices usually climb around school holidays, Christmas and the main summer travel period, and midweek departures are often gentler than weekend ones.

The difference you feel is not between direct and connecting flights, because all of them require at least one change; it is between fares that buy a seat and fares that bundle bags, meals or flexibility. Norwegian International, ITA Airways, Swiss, Scandinavian Airlines, Lufthansa, Austrian, Helvetic Airways, Luxair, Air Baltic and Air France are the carriers on this route, so compare fare families and connection time before choosing the lowest headline price.

Getting into town is straightforward: Riga airport is close enough to the centre that the transfer feels like a normal city journey, with public transport and taxis both covering it. Check which option still runs if you land late, and remember that winter weather can slow the last part of the trip even when the flight itself was on time.
